Smell from pipes after using sinks and washing machine can not find any leaks the smell comes and goes. Smell is in kitchen and laundry room which is below kitchen

How cold is it in your area. If below freezing, your vents exiting the roof may have frozen shut causing the fixture traps to siphon, which will allow sewer gas to enter the home.

O.K... SO if I take a hose and stick it down the vent on the roof to clear any obstructions, will that help or what?

I guess Ranchhand wanted your attention.

There can be many, many causes for sewer gas entering the home. I gave one cause, but that was back in 2010 during the winter when frozen vents can cause sewer gas. Apparently you don't have this problem. Im still not sure why you posted on a year old post, but I have read some of your other post, and It appears you have a faulty wax ring under the toilet. I would start there. One step at a time with sewer smells, as they can be one of the hardest things for a plumber to locate. If it was easy, Im sure you would see all kinds of advertising for " sewer gas smells locating" companys, but Ive never seen an add for that. It really is very difficult to locate sewer smells in person, let alone over the web. So just bear with us, and we will do our best to help. Start with the wax ring on the toilet, and if the smell still is there, come on back and we will see what we can come up with.

Do you have a floor drain in the laundry room? Back to you, Tom

My bathroom overflow whenever water runs from faucet or any other bathroom is flushed. It also makes a bubbling sound. What's the problem and what can I do? Thank you.

I installed a delta faucet in my kitchen. The water came out fine. Now it is down to a trickle. I replaced both valves but still the same problem. I cleaned the filter also.

Do you mean the aerator screens?
Sounds like you disturbed some mineral buildup on the pipe walls and now it's blocking the inlet ports of the internal parts.
Shut the water off and open up the valve check and clean out any trash you may find. Now place a pan over the valve and turn the water on for a moment to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom

My 2nd story toilet will not flush very well when someone goes #2 I have replaced the toilet thinking because it was an older one however it has not helped. On the main floor the toilet works pretty well however it does clog at least twice a month. To give you more faxes I have five kids I myself have tried everything to duplicate the issue from throwing extra toilet paper down the toilet or even a half flush it has only happened to me once other than that I have to go up and unclog the toilet at least twice a week please help??

My plumber snaked my kitchen sink because it was stopped up when he pulled the snake out it had grass on it so he snaked again and checked outside he saw the snake coming through a pipe on the roof can u tell me what this means or would I need to do? Also just to share the sinked stopped up about a year ago as well we founf there was a open drain behind the wall in the basement a plumber came and capped the drain off could this have anything to do with it at all ?

That some times happens, surely he pulled the snake out and tried again. A snake sometimes goes up the vent pipe rather than down the drain pipe. When that happens you pull it out and try again. Eventually it goes down rather than up. If you use a drop head it doesn't happen very often.

I would snake the drain via the roof vent. Basically, get up on the roof and snake from the vent that the snake came out of.

"We installed a tile shower drain and enclosed it in concrete-unfortunately we needed an acrylic drain that requires a different straining top-is there a way to change the top of the drain or covert it?-without having to chisel or break the concrete to remove it"

The water from the garbage disposal is backing up into the sink o the other sidle.
It began when the dishwasher was working and has continued.

You have a partially blocked drain line. Remove trap and snake the line.

Okay, this is a lot of piggybacks on an old thread. Everybody, please ask your own question in a new thread. You will get many more views and most likely many more answers in this way.
